It enhances the ability to be in productive exchanges of information even when controversial or divergent views surface. When individuals are not skillful in hearing difficult, conflicting or unpopular views they may automatically or unconsciously filter out important information. They may also give out signals that difficult or contrary information is not acceptable even if it may be relevant for the success of the whole.
